The Middle Ages ..... What do you imagine when you read these words? Do you envision beautiful castles, knights in shining armor, wealthy kings and regal queens?
In the movies the Middle Ages are portrayed as a time where everyone lives “Happily Ever After”. However, the Middle Ages were anything but fairy tales… living conditions were horrible - castles were cold and dirty and most people lived in fear. Discover the real “Middle Ages” as you choose a path to research these times below.
First you will begin researching the feudal system and learning about the art, music, literature, and architecture of Medieval Times. You will choose one of the roles listed below:
Serf
King
Queen
Knight
Monk
Are you ready to learn what is kept in a keep, how a morning star is used, or what (besides water) can be found in a moat? Be alert as you transform your thinking from a fairytale world to a land of reality.
Throughout your quest, keep in mind the "big question" you are seeking to answer:
What was life "really" like in Medieval Times, and what do we know now that could have made their lives better?
